The Stragglers - Candlelight (feat. Jenn Fiorentino) Lyrics

You can draw
A picture perfect back drop for me
Or dress us up
For all your friends and family to see
Be my guest
Elaborate to all of your peers
Then try to find
The place that I've been hiding for years

I know the drill
This scene is on repeat
Here's the part where you me beg and threaten me
Of course I know why I came home so early tonight
I hoped to find the house burned down by candlelight
This bottle's bottled up this champagne isn't your kind
Cause I know that you looked differently at me that night

You can cry
I've been dehydrated for weeks
I'll drink you dry
And scrape away the taste with my teeth
Go and try
You can't plug all of their ears
Or hide my eyes
I'll say what they all want to hear

Don't ask me why
I take the long road home
A thousand times that's my smell you should know
Of course I know why I came home so early tonight
I hoped to find the house burned down by candlelight
This bottle's bottled up this champagne isn't your kind
Cause I know that you looked differently at me that night

Your accusations are giving you away
You seem to think I keep secrets, I don't think you can change
This is my place and I swear I don't care if you stay
I plan on leaving cuz I haven't slept well in days

I still see daggers in your eyes
I still see daggers in your eyes
